Legendary Marketer Vision

We don’t have a cute, yet ambiguous “mission statement” that sounds good, yet has no real tangible impact on people. Our vision is simple: we operate 365 days a year to help our members create a business they love and a business plan and process that gives them freedom.

From products and events that give people real-life strategies to start their business safely, grow quickly and scale effectively. To digital courses that take each student by the hand and show them exactly how to generate more traffic, convert more leads and make more sales – and how to develop an ironclad entrepreneur mindset that will help them overcome even the challenges they’ll face as entrepreneurs.

WHO IS DAVID SHARPE

And Why Would Anyone Want To Duplicate His Strategies And Results?

From the outside, it may seem like my success came easy, but getting to where I’m has been a long and grueling journey. After dropping out in 9th grade, fathering a child at 16 years old and developing a near-deadly drug addiction – I landed face down and hit rock bottom in 2008. At the age of 24, in February 2008 – I was completely broke, broken and hopeless. With nowhere left to turn I knocked on my Dad’s door and, essentially, asked him to help me save my life.

He did.

But the National Institute on Retirement Security reports that most people getting ready to retire have $3,000 – $12,000 to their name. Surveys show most Americans don’t have $1,000 in their bank account. Jobs have either been replaced by software or shipped overseas. Nearly 18-million students are enrolled at nearly 5,000 colleges borrowing up to $40,000 a year in student loans that they’ll be paying off for the rest of their lives.

Throughout this grueling start-up phase as a digital entrepreneur I heard things like “just get a regular job” …and… “that stuff never works anyway – just play it safe and go back to school”. Yet I persevered on. Something was calling me. I wanted to turn my mess into a message!

I realized the “old way” of doing things isn’t as promising as they make it sound. Sure, the traditional path is good for some people, but for many, the story doesn't end well. I knew this.

The National Institute on Retirement Security reports that most people getting ready to retire have $3,000 – $12,000 to their name. Surveys show most Americans don’t have $1,000 in their bank account. Thousands of job are being replaced by software or shipped overseas every day. Nearly 18-million students are enrolled at nearly 5,000 colleges borrowing up to $40,000 a year in student loans that they’ll be paying off for the rest of their lives. Most people blindly trust the government, corporations and wall street fat cats but they end up getting left holding the bag.

Even though the early days of my entrepreneurial career were challenging… Like working my construction job 8-10 hours a day then coming home working online for another 4-6 hours….

Eventually I made my first sale. Then my second. The my third.

Then I had my first 5-figure month and I knew I would never go back to living a “regular life” again.

I started to train others, too, and became passionate about both entrepreneurship and education. In my 9 years as a digital marketing entrepreneur and educator, I’ve founded 3 multi-million companies from scratch, educated over 300,000 students worldwide through my courses and live events have been featured on Entrprenuer.com and was quoted by Forbes as “one of the masterminds of this industry.”

With the cost of education nearing an unsustainable path, student loan debt over $1 trillion and unemployment rates of recent graduates through the roof – I knew people were starving for non-traditional education and information that could teach them entrepreneurial skill sets to start their own business; specifically their own digital business leveraging the power of the Internet.

People are starving for this information. Yet, until now their only options were colleges and universities. My vision was to create an educational platform to teach serious and curious startup entrepreneurs the skills they need to earn a full-time income with their own digital business.

So what was the secret I discovered that started this whole, crazy journey and allowed me to begin building my business online? (using, at first, nothing but a laptop and cell phone)

I discovered that I could package my knowledge (or other people’s knowledge) into video and audio digital-products and sell them over and over again to hundreds, thousands…even hundreds of thousands of people around the world. There was no longer a need to go to a bookstore to pick up a book or order a video course through a TV infomercial. It could all be done online.

Let me actually break it down even further for you. (and please, pay attention, because this is a real life, from inside the trenches million-dollar education about how to actually create a real, long-term sustainable business online with very little overhead or start-up costs).

First, I needed a low-cost front-end product to sell to give away to people as an appetizer before they bought the whole meal. Customers are like dates, you need to wine and dine them a little before you try and take them to bed.

I also needed to sell my products through something called a sales funnel because they work much better than traditional websites… which is great for branding, but horrible for making sales.

I also needed to automate my sales funnel and I needed a killer presentation that did all the selling and telling for me 24/7/365… so I didn’t have to talk to each person that was taking a look at my products and services. This is how you really scale your front-end sales (which is the lifeblood of your business).

Then I needed to duplicate myself with a sales team of talented people who cared and has amazing integrity… who can enroll my customers into my high-end products and services (reserved only for my most raving customers).

A percentage of my customers would only purchase my low costs entry-level products while a percentage of them would upgrade to my premium-priced high-end products and services.

The rest of my time was focused on advertising and scaling. And, of course, enjoying some work/life balance!

I’ve been running this little business model for several years now and it’s generated nearly $200-million inside my companies. I’ve generated customers in over 100 countries. I’ve traveled the world to train and speak on stages in different countries and continents and I’ve met the most amazing people because of it. Most of all I’ve helped my students and affiliate partners earn nearly $150,000,000! (not counting the results they’ve created that we were unable to document)

Though, the happiest moments of my career have been being able to give back to the people who helped me the most along the way. Like my Dad, who let me sleep on his couch when I was at rock bottom. He needed a new truck – his was nearing its death. So right before it quit on him I surprised him like this….
